This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

This shelf spacer is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is used in refrigerators and freezers. This shelf spacer attaches to wire shelves in the refrigerator and freezer to hold them in place. If the shelf spacer is lost or damaged, the shelf will not stay in place. The spacer should be replaced.Refrigerator shelves must be sturdy to hold the weight of the food stored inside. If the shelf spacer is missing, the stability of the shelf is compromised. This part snaps onto the wire shelf and prevents it from moving around. This keeps the food inside the refrigerator from causing the shelf to fall. No tools are needed to install this part. If the shelf spacer is missing, do not store food on the shelf until it is installed.This shelf spacer is a white plastic part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in refrigerators manufactured by Kenmore, Frigidaire, Westinghouse, and Gibson.

• Helps maintain normal drainage to avoid ice buildup or water leaks.
• Restores a damaged, cracked or clogged original tube where flow is restricted.
• Works as a service part when inspecting drain path during defrost/drain issues.

• One replacement tube.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove access panels as needed and route tube along the factory path; avoid sharp bends or kinks.
• Inspect drain openings and heater components while replacing the tube.

This center hinge pin is the door pivot pin that secures and aligns the middle hinge on compatible refrigerators, restoring smooth door movement and proper sealing. It's a direct-fit replacement when the existing pin is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Serves as the pivot pin for the center door hinge, allowing the door to swing and stay aligned
• Helps maintain proper door alignment and sealing to prevent gaps and cold air loss
• Commonly replaced when the door sags, drags, binds, or produces metal-on-metal noise
• Simple, single-piece mechanical replacement — no electrical connection

• One center hinge pin

• Unplug or disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to avoid electrical hazards
• Support the door with a second person or a suitable prop before removing the hinge to prevent injury and damage
• Remove hinge fasteners carefully, replace the pin, then reassemble and hand-tighten fasteners before checking alignment
• After installation, verify the door opens/closes smoothly and seals properly; make small hinge adjustments as needed

This is a factory-style replacement screw used to secure appliance components. It restores proper fastening where the original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged so panels and assemblies stay firmly attached. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Replaces missing or damaged mounting hardware that can cause rattles or loose parts
• Provides the correct fit and thread engagement for a secure connection
• Helps maintain appliance alignment and safe operation

• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent thread or part damage
• Turn off power and remove any access panels before working on electrical components

A replacement compressor kit designed to restore the refrigeration system's ability to cool by replacing failed compressor components. Use this kit when the compressor assembly needs service or replacement. What it does:

• Replaces failed compressor components to help restore normal cooling performance
• Stops intermittent or complete loss of cooling often caused by compressor failure
• Helps address loud humming, grinding, or continuous running tied to compressor problems
• Supports proper refrigerant flow when installed and serviced

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Compressor and sealed-system service (evacuation, vacuum, refrigerant charging) must be performed
• Use proper handling and tools for refrigerant-containing components to avoid leaks and injury

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure the defrost timer assembly to the refrigerator control housing, restoring proper fastening and preventing the timer from shifting or vibrating during operation. What it does:

• Secures the defrost timer to the control housing so the timer stays in position.
• Prevents vibration or movement that can cause intermittent contact or noisy operation.
• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
• Addresses symptoms such as a loose or missing fastener, rattling behind the control panel, or a timer that shifts when the door is opened.

• Unplug the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical shock.
• Access the control housing or timer bracket per your model's service instructions.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit; do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid stripping.
• Retain removed hardware for reference and compare screw length/threads before installing.

This lower hinge pin secures the refrigerator door to the cabinet, allowing the door to pivot smoothly and stay aligned. Replaces a worn or damaged hinge pin to restore proper door movement and closing. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot point for the refrigerator door, supporting door weight and rotation
• Helps keep the door aligned to prevent sagging, sticking, or uneven gaps
• Commonly replaced when the pin is bent, worn, or causing noisy/rough door movement
• Works with the lower hinge assembly to maintain a proper door seal and operation

• Installation requires removing the lower hinge or door; follow your model's service instructions
• Support the door while removing/installing hinge hardware to prevent injury or damage
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid forcing parts or misaligning the hinge pin
• If any hinge housing or mounting hardware is damaged, replace those parts as well for safe operation
